Casting Singers and Dancers for "Nietzsche" New Musical

Seeking non-union singers and dancers for lead and ensemble roles in "Nietzsche", a new musical. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See more info below. About the project: Nietzsche, a full-length original musical, unveils the cast of characters who shaped the life and legacy of the controversial philosopher – Friedrich (“Fritz”) Nietzsche. His mother wanted him to be a pastor. His musical mentor wanted him to defend anti-Semitism. His sister wanted power. His love interest wanted freedom. And Fritz wanted to love life – all of it. But how? What do you do when you adore people whose values you abhor? The musical unfolds as a series of flashbacks leading to an explosive conclusion: Fritz goes insane; his sister, Elisabeth, allies with the Nazis; and his love, Lou Salomé, vows to honor their bond and write a book that will set the record straight. Rate: Stipends range $300-500, variable by role. Additional info: Particularly seeking crossover artists with experience in both classical music and musical theater for singing tracks; strong musicians are encouraged to apply.
